  • _. "VS^E, S T E, RN Carol i n ian The Voice of the Student's VOL. XXXI, NO. 1 Friday, September 10, 1965 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Reid Outlines Expansion At Pre-Session Western Carolina College is in the preliminary stages of opening its 77th regular term, with prospects for the largest enrollment in its history. A pre-session conference of faculty and student leaders got underway here September 2nd in preparation for the influx of students expected during the week of September 6-12. Dr. Paul A. Reid, WCC president, told the conference that more than 3000 applications were received from well qualified students, but that only about 1000 new students could be accepted." We can accomplish even this much," he said, "only because we have em- bracel a wider area than before in locating private housing for those whom we could not accommodate." Dr. Reid said this year's enrollment will probably reach 2600 (last year's was 2431), although there is no additional housing available on campus. Western Carolina College is now in the midst of a six- million dollar expansion program using funds authorized by the 1963 General Assembly, and is ready to go even fur- thur with additional funds of more than five million dollars made available by the 1965 session. Some of these funds are by direct appropriation, and others were authorized on a self-liquidating basis. Dr. Reid pointed out that these two sums, appropriated within a two year period, amount to as much as all previous combined capitol improvement grai ts made since the college w s founded in 1889. Two dormitories now under construction, to house 800 students, will be ready for occupancy by next fall, and two others are in the planning stage. The total construction program includes several other buildings, extensive renovations and additions to existing buildings, road construction, and utilities expansion. "Five years from now," President Reid said, "we can expect the enrollment to be about twice its present figure." He repeated his often expressed position that growth for the sake of bigness is not his goal. "Rather," he said, "growth must occur only as it helps to meet the needs In education for the young people of North Carolina, particularly in the mountain region." "It is important," he said, "that students, faculty, and administration retain a p sense of balance and ptrspectwe, and that the entire operation of the college should be geared toward producting well educated, effective citizens." Pre-Session Conference Is Held New Additions To WCC Faculty Are Announced Western Carolina College be- gins its school year this week with 20 new full-time faculty members on the college staff and four in the laboratory school.

Freshmen Are Oriented Here Approximately 1100 Freshmen students arrived on the Western Carolina College campus Monday, September 6, to begin Orientation procedures which will continue through Sunday, September 12. The new arrivals spent most of Monday unpacking and moving into quarters which are scattered in some cases as far as Cherokee, after which they merged on Joyner Building to obtain Student I.D. cards and registration instructions. On Tuesday morning an assembly fo>- all new students was held in LJey Auditorium, followed in the afternoon by English and mathematics testing for Freshmen and general culture testing for transfers. More tests were given on Wednesday morning, while that afternoon the new students were given departmental counseling for curriculum "areas. The evening's activities included Women's and Men's Hours in Hoey and "Fun Night" in Reid Gymnasium. On Thursday all new students were given faculty advisor assignments, while today they secured textbooks from the Book Exchange and attended classes. Orientation will end Sunday with a reception for all new students at the President's home. The thirty-first Pre-Session Conference at Western Carolina College opened at 9:00 Thursday morning, September 2, in the Gallery of Hunter Library. Approximately 75 student leaders were present at the opening of the Conference. The first order of the day, following the invocation by the Reverend John McNearney and the singing of the Alma Mater, was a welcome speech by President of the College Paul A. Reid. Reid's speech, which is detailed elsewhere on Page 1, was followed by the appointment of the several Conference committees by Dean of Student Affairs Taylor L. Huskins and election of the Conference Secretary. Judy Clontz was elected. The morning session continued after a fifteen minute break with a reading of the Pre-Session Constitution by Sophoomre Senator Bill Smart. Senior Senator Chet Gatlin then read a review of previous conference recommendations which have materialized. Gatlin was followed by Student Body President Paul Cabe, who presented the 1965 Conference Theme, that of "Achievement Through Expansion and Growth." Mrs. Lilian Buchanan, Head Librarian of Hunter Library, closed the morning portion of Thursday's agenda with several remarks a- bout the library, including mention of the fact that she had recently been honored with a place in Who's Who in America. The Conference members returned at 2:00 P.M. for the afternoon session, during which Dr. Cecil Cosper, Dean of Men, and President of Men's House Government Charles Stephens, spoke on "College Expansion — Academic and Physical." Friday morning's activities, with Stephens presiding, included the theme of Progress Through Physical Expansion. Bill Upchurch, Junior Senator, spoke on "The College Campus — Changing Physical Appearance," followed by Cafeteria Manager J. S. Mitchell, who spoke on changing facilities and conditions within Brown Cafeteria. Group discussion and general assembly were held from 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. for presentation of recommendations. Resuming at 2:00 P.M., the group heard Dr. Max Williams, recently appointed Assistant to the Dean, and Jerry Chambers, Editor of the WESTERN CAROLINIAN, speak on "The College Campus — Increasing Academic Opportunities" in the theme of Progress Through Academic Expansion. Discussion and assembly followed the 3:00 break. Nick Taylor, Sophomore Senator, presided over Saturday morning's session and introduced the theme of "Progress Through Incentive." President Cabe then at the afternoon session, during which most of the recommendations Committee and designated spoke on "Progress and the Student Government — Past, Present, and Future." Cabe presided PAUL CABE Student Body President by importance as recommendations or suggestions. Saturday night's Pre-Session banq: 1:15 in Brown Cafeteria, saw the reading of each final recommendation and suggestion for approval by the Conference members. The recommendation that caused the most notice and debate both within the Recommendations Committee and during the banquet table voting was one dealing with pretrial procedures of the Student-Faculty-Judiciary Committee. The final draft of the recommendation reads: "That the respective social deans inform all students appearing before them for disciplinary action that they are not required to incriminate themselves in any manner, and that an official summons be served before the date of the hearing of the accused. The said date of the hearing is to be not less than 48 hours after the summons is served." Other controversial recommendations were those dealing with men's m uniform numerical grading scale, Greek housing, upperclass women's hours, paved parking lots and other traffic facilities, the possibilities of holding regular open house in the dormitories, slogans and signs placed in Reid Gymnasium, and an honor ca Western Carolina College. A rare Malayan praying mantis not only looks like an orchid; at times the pink insect rocks in imitation of a breeze- blown blossom, the National Geographic says.
